    Description

    Hi. We are Mark (English) and Petra (Czech) farming on the edge of the limousin region. We farm 220 ha, we have limousin cows and grow some cereals too.
    There is always plenty to do around the farm and maintenance to the old farm buildings.
    We also have a horse, 2 dogs and 4 chickens.
    We are able to take helpers all year round.
    Mark speaks just English and very basic French, Petra speaks English French and of course Czech

    At this moment in time, we are specifically looking for help repairing traditional farm buildings. Longer stays would be preferable.
